Probing the Affinity of Coronavirus with Contact Surfaces in Simulated Body Fluids.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transmission of viral pathogens has raised serious public health concerns, but the affinity and strength of viruses adhering to high-touch surfaces are not clear. We systematically investigated the propensities of a coronavirus, Murine hepatitis virus A59 (MHV), adhering onto and releasing from four representative contact surfaces, silica, stainless steel, cellulose, and polystyrene, in simulated saliva and urine using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). We also quantified the interactions between MHV and contact surfaces using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Both initial adhesion rates and saturated adhesion mass of MHV were higher in urine buffer than in saliva buffer, which is attributed to the higher repulsions between the virus and surfaces in the presence of mucin. The maximum adhesion mass of MHV follows the order of stainless steel > silica > cellulose ≈ polystyrene in both urine and saliva buffers. Stainless steel and silica are surfaces with likely higher risks of virus contamination due to their highest maximum adhesion mass in both urine and saliva buffers and lower virus release percentages upon water rinse. The results of this study will provide insights into risk assessment and control of pathogens associated with contact surfaces.
